Chapter 45 Deciding to Negotiate

Wu Sangui had already flatly refused the negotiations, and the two sides could only fight each other.

If we don’t solve this last force of the Ming Dynasty, our own country will definitely be unstable.

Under pressure from multiple aspects, negotiating with the Beijing Camp is almost the only choice now.

But at this time, no one is willing to raise this topic first.

Because this is about a position.

Especially the other party has the prince who has the former Ming Dynasty in his hands, which is even more difficult to deal with.

Such a decision must be told by Li Zicheng himself, otherwise, whoever raises this issue first in the future will have serious consequences.

Li Zicheng was also hesitant when he was walking in the hall with his hands behind his back.

I wanted to negotiate with Chongzhen before, but I wanted Chongzhen to grant him the title of King of the Northwest and become the title of marquis.

However, at that time, it was because he still believed that the Ming Dynasty court was not only justified, but also orthodox.

The most important thing is that Chongzhen still controls half of the Yangtze River and the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry in the world.

I know that I am just a group of bandits, without any foundation, and a group of mobs.

His hope at that time was that as long as Emperor Chongzhen recognized his orthodox status as the king of the Northwest and justified the cedes of the four northwest provinces, he could have enough to gain a solid and justified territory.

It’s not that he doesn’t know the shortcomings of the bandits.

Huang Chao is his real role model.

The head urgently needs a solid territory to change the nature of bandits.

That's why Li Zicheng proposed this condition that was close to grievance when the troops were at the city and seeing the Ming Dynasty at their fingertips, and negotiated with Chongzhen.

But now, although he has captured the city of Beijing, the Ming army and officials in the world are still rebelling again without the oppression of their powerful army, which gives him a great headache.

Never reviewed his army, and carried out a cruel counterattack against the officials who had surrendered to him, and the consequences were caused.

Instead, he believed that the people's hearts were still towards the Ming Dynasty, and they could not be replaced by a person who was born into a bandit.

In Shanxi, Henan, a large number of Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers who had surrendered to themselves had already turned against him.

Wu Sangui also retreated back to Shanhaiguan again and made his position clear.

Li Zicheng knew wisely that Wu Sangui would never break the ground and become king.

Because the area under Wu Sangui's control is only a narrow and long area from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan.

The production there is absolutely no way to ensure the survival of Guanning Iron Cavalry.

The reason why Guanning Iron Cavalry survived to this day is that even when the Ming Dynasty's finances collapsed, it was still transfusions to him.

From this point of view, Wu Sangui was destined to either enter Beijing or surrender to the Qing Dynasty outside the pass.

For their own survival, they no longer have a third choice.

The combat power of Guanning Iron Cavalry is an existence that cannot be ignored in the entire Central Plains region now.

If the 150,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry suddenly attacks him, can he truly resist him with his already degenerate soldiers?

Judging from the performance of Yuan Zongdi's team today, the answer is already very obvious.

Maybe there can be a victory, but if it lasts for a long time, you will definitely lose.

As long as you fail, the symbol of the world you just conquered can only be handed over to others again.

In order to do your best to deal with Wu Sangui, the biggest enemy in the future, you must solve the poisonous sting on your back.

"Go and negotiate with them." Li Zicheng finally made the decision in person.

"We can no longer consume our old team. We must also remove this cancer in Beijing so that all our future actions will be justified."

This is the most critical political correctness.

"Send someone to test it first. Take a look at the voice of the opposite side."

He glanced at all the ministers who had their heads shrank: "The condition for our negotiations this time is that they must submit to us, hand over the prince, let the prince officially announce the world and abdicate to me."

Then he raised his hands and his ambition broke out again: "In order to achieve our goals in negotiations, the general manager of the Five Army."

Tian Jianxiu immediately stood up: "Emperor."

"You immediately press all the 200,000 troops in the capital to the enemy's camp."

Then he smiled coldly: "Don't you think the war is over? Can you enjoy peace and prosperity? Just use this method to tell the soldiers that the enemy is right now and the war is far from over."

Others remained silent about such a decision.

But Li Yan stood up and cheered: "The emperor is wise, so it should be."

Then I thought about it: "But letting the former Ming prince abdicate, it is not possible for the time being."

Li Zicheng looked at him unwillingly: "Why?"

Li Yan admitted frankly: "Because of Wu Sangui."

Then he explained to everyone: "Wu Sangui, there is no chance of negotiation anymore, he will definitely counterattack the capital."

"Why?" Li Zicheng frowned and asked.

"Because our general whistleblower, Mr. Liu snatched his favorite concubine and forced his father to death."

In this way, only Li Yan, a nerd, dared to face the mistakes of the second person Liu Zongmin.

But in the eyes of everyone, women are like clothes, and whoever has the ability possesses them.

For example, when Hao Yaoqi broke through Tongguan, he killed his wife and killed his son.

Such a tragic act was actually circulated as a beautiful story at that time.

Killing the old father should be even more unimportant.

An ancient emperor Liu Bang, when his old father was cooked for soup, Liu Bang once smiled and said, "Please give me a share of the soup after the soup is ready."

Putting aside these moral concepts, it is common for this peasant army to think about the fact that the northwest was severe drought and natural disasters and man-made disasters, changing children to eat was common. It was simply too common to kill the dying father to fill his stomach.

Li Zhicheng's army also maintained that in the old camp, he also raised a bunch of two-legged sheep in the difficult times.

What is a two-legged sheep? That is a human being, which means slaughtering people who eat meat at any time when the army is short of food.

If there are too many such things, it will become numb.

Because of numbness, I don’t know when it is, and I take it for granted in my mind.

In order to survive, it is normal for a father to die, and Wu Sangui will not make a big fuss about this.

This is why, with such serious consequences, Li Zicheng did not blame Liu Zongmin.

This is why Li Zicheng still sent someone to negotiate with Wu Sangui under such circumstances.

They still exist in their own ideas.

If they really rule the Central Plains, then it will be the real distortion of human nature and moral corruption.

Li Yan, who was still rational when others thought so, keenly discovered the major crisis here.

Because he is a literati, a literati who has inherited Confucian culture for thousands of years, he understands best that Wu Sangui, who was born in a martial arts scholar, would be like most people in the world.

He firmly believed that Wu Sangui must uphold the hatred of killing his father and the hatred of taking his wife, and the hatred of robbing his wife.

Now, my own group has become a deadly enemy with Wu Sangui because of Liu Zongmin's arbitrary actions.

Continuing to negotiate with Wu Sangui to recruit surrender is just a dream.
